Bogo off this team makes us better on it's own
- chilliard77


The leafs changed up pairings and found a way to put phaneuf in a more offensive role to inflate his numbers and increase value to sucker the sens into taking him.

They should be looking to do the same with bogo. Also because this myth that he's some defensive juggernaut because he's big is hysterical.

Moving out the whole blue line outside of 29/55.

Using Darcy's prospects in trades, with the exception of Lemiuex

Choosing Casey Nelson over resigning Ruhwedel.

Not resigning any of the goalies who played well. Bringing in his guys

Well, we know Neuvirth wasn't coming back based on his exit interview. Lindback would've been nice, but he's Anders Lindback, and Enroth didn't fit Murray's model. Plus wasn't he waived already with the Leafs and no one claimed him? Who else is there? Halak? Never actually played a game here, and Johnson wanted to go home. The Rochester guys are career AHLers. I'm not sure who you wanted him to re-sign?

Ruhwedel is not a good player either. He's another career AHLer.

I don't know why it hasn't happened yet.

It's funny how most guys that are supposedly "Defensive defensemen" are actually terrible at defending

That last one is fireable, hes done alright with contracts as GM so i dunno he'll go that far. Funny thing is as long as that list is, it doesnt even cover some of the biggest ones. Such as who do you bring in? and who do you bring up from the farm? Do you pencil a spot for Guhle/Nylander? Head coach? you would have hoped that at this stage you wouldn't need to make this many decisons in all these areas.

Yeah, no way does he give Lehner $30M. And I'm one of his(Lehner) bigger fans on here.

I didn't care really about any of them. Just saying it was blatantly clear he wanted a whole new system, and didn't like many of the old regime's guys

Aaron Rodgers 4 TD's, but you don't really need a " real " NFL QB to win.

I get that, but who did you want him to sign? I really don't see anyone that would make any kind of difference over what we currently have.

You don't have to bail on it I'm just giving my honest opinion I really don't want to lose Cal when we spend so much time letting him develop and then you're just going to let him go to a different team and then we waste a pick to get exactly what we just lost
- GERBE!!!75PTS


He was a 5th round pick. Not exactly a waste. He's not taking up a contract space, so not a waste there either. Where's the waste exactly?

Jeremy White mentioned Bogo too. And for as many horrible opinions they have, they also have good connections through the organization.

Someone mentioned awhile ago that you can tell who's going to be traded by the way they talk about the player on the radio.

White and Schopp were talking about Pysyk for months before he was traded, about how they shouldn't trade him. They knew Murray didn't want him

- sbroads24


His usage said that too. Leaving him in Rochester for as long as he did.

I have a hard time blaming the GM for going fast when the owner promised the Cup in three years.

Because he did that. Not that it was a mistake, it's obvious he wanted his players.

He's also proven for the most part, he wants his guys, his picks. Petersen wasn't his pick.

Also, There are a ton a stats that say Lehner is incredibly average to below average. Especially in saving high danger scoring chances.

Time will tell, but I don't think we win much with Lehner as the #1.

- sbroads24

Not really complaining at all.

I was talking about cal saying we took too much time to develop him to let him go and then what we're going to trade for the exact same prospects that we just lost
